I have, I levelled NIN through PotD, and I did learn my job through it.

I'm not a great NIN by any stretch of the imagination but I can do dungeons and 24mans (and maybe stretch to Alex NM, though I missed the boat there with NIN), but I know all my skills and utilise them all the best I can. Honestly? I wouldn't have learned to use trick attack for a while if not for doing PotD 51+ getting me used to an endgame rotation.

I will admit this doesn't work for all jobs, BLM in particular is an awful learning experience in PotD, and I feel like SMN might be too.
